Spiders wander freely on their platforms, turning backwards when they reach an obstacle. When Rayman is in sight, they climb to the ceiling of the caves, and start firing homing stingers at him. It is, however, possible to defeat them before they climb to the ceiling. They can also duck to avoid Rayman's telescopic fist. In the Atari Jaguar version, they do not jump onto the ceiling when they spot Rayman, but simply turn their backs and start shooting at him. They also do not duck to avoid his telescopic fist in that version.

Spiders are among the quickest enemies in the game, and the best solution is sometimes to run away from them.
